Använd id, inte siffror, för att identifiera

Kapitelsiffror var enda vägen för pappersdokument. Och det funkade, eftersom nya reviderade upplagor inte kom oftare än att man kan hålla reda på dem.

Men inse att i hypertexten är det annorlunda. Revisioner kan komma ofta, och risken att numrena är ur synk (i värsta fall utan att man inser det) är inte försumbar. Därför är det bättre att saker får ett unikt id istället.

(Dessutom bör saker ha en revisionshistoria, men det är ett annat resonemang.)

Etnoklassificering

adaptive path » metadata for the masses

Ethnoclassification systems can similarly “emerge.” Once you have a preliminary system in place, you can use the most common tags to develop a controlled vocabulary that truly speaks the users’ language.

Use the tags to understand how people consider the content at hand. Then you can “pave” the best paths to ensure findability — say, by explicitly linking “nyc,” “newyork,” and “newyorkcity.” You can also align these tags with more formal schemes

9 dimensioner för informationssökning

Information seeking research needs extension towards tasks and technology

1. The work task dimension covers the work task set by the organization, the social organization of work, collaboration between actors and the physical and system environment.
2. The search task dimension covers necessary seeking and retrieval practices, as understood collectively in organizational practice.
3. The actor dimension covers the actor's declarative knowledge and procedural skills, and other personal traits, such as motivation and emotions.
4. The perceived work task dimension covers the actor's perception of the work task: forming the task that is carried out.
5. The perceived search task dimension covers the actor's perception of the search task including information need types regarding the task and its performance process, and perceived information space.
6. The document dimension covers document contents and genres and collections in various languages and media, which may contain information relevant to the task as perceived by the actor.
7. The algorithmic search engine dimension covers the representation of documents or information and information needs. It also covers tools and support for query formulation and methods for matching document and query representations.
8. The algorithmic interface dimension covers tools for visualization and presentation of information objects, collections and their organization.
9. The access and interaction dimension covers strategies of information access, interaction between the actor and the interface (both in social and in system contexts).

Interaction Design Group

The Interaction Design Group (IxDG) is an international community of people who are practicing, teaching, and studying interaction design. Our organization’s goals are to

* promote awareness of the discipline, craft, and value of interaction design among businesses, academia, consumers, and our colleagues
* advance the discipline of interaction design through innovation
* encourage high standards of practice among interaction designers
* establish standards for academic programs in interaction design
* develop a close-knit community of interaction design professionals who face similar challenges in their work and can assist one another in their development
* provide a forum for the discussion of interaction design
